diet coke

Met with the OB for first time today. She was not happy that I drink ONE diet coke a day (no coffee, tea, anything else caffeinated). Really? I'm down from approximately 6 diet cokes per day plus coffee... I get no credit. What will I do without my beloved diet coke??? : )

From what I'm hearing Its something in the "diet" part of any drink... I drink like 1 coke a week to get my fix!! Haha. I'm so sick of water, gigerale, sprite and Gatorade!!! Anyone else know of anything to drink?

I've been drinking diet pepsi in moderation (2 a day at most, and sometimes none a day). I'm wondering if perhaps your OB was more concerned about the artificial sweetener than about the caffeine? Everywhere I've read and my OB have told me one serving of caffeine a day is acceptable (a cup of coffee, 20 oz serving of soda, etc). Also, that's just to be cautious. There's really no documentation that caffeine has any effect on the fetus what so ever. So, like I said, I'm wondering if it was more the sweetener that worried your OB.

I haven't looked too much into it, but plan on it. There is a soda maker at bed bath and beyond for $99. My husband asked what I wanted for Christmas, and if I find that I can make safe homemade diet soda at home with this, that will be what I want!

I have drank it through all my pregnancies and I am not much for reducing my intake much either, I did switch to decaff but I still drink it. I only have 3 liquids that I drink and thats Diet Coke, milk and ice tea. I will drink water but am not a general fan of it.

I agree. I have gone from the same number of Diet Cokes to none. I cut cold turkey. I have already told my husband that's one of my requirements right after the baby is born. I have gone 6 weeks without a diet coke. How sad . . .

I drink different fruit juices. I just check to make sure it's labeled 100% fruit juice and no added sugar, but I have sensitive teeth so I like to drink things without. Too much Ginger Ale irritates my teeth.

The reason mine told me not to drink Diet Coke, or any diet sodas, was because of all the artificial chemicals in it that makes it diet. She said I can drink regular Coke if I am really jonsing for a soda.

I also think one of the concerns with any soda is that it interfers with the bodies ability to absorb calcium. For both you and the baby. I would just make extra sure you are also getting enough calcium.

Is it because it's diet and has aspartame in it? Or is it just the caffeine? I thought you were allowed a half cup or something like that. I stopped while we were trying so I wouldn't have to deal with the headaches.
